Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI because the possibility that we are alone in the universe is......impossibly depressing. The odds point to the likelyhood that there has to be something else out there. If not, it's an awful waste of space.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
